The update simply called "Content" brings a whole lot of extras to Lucky Tower Ultimate, my current favourite dungeon crawler that keeps on making me laugh.

It's a truly silly game that will keep you coming back for more. It's equal parts frustrating as it is funny though, like any good dungeon crawler it can be a challenge but it's all the stupid interactions that really sell it. There's so many surprising things that can happen and they just keep expanding on it. It's Steam Deck Verified (and does work great) and works just fine on Desktop Linux with Proton.

Update 2: Content was released Wednesday, adding in various content from community votes including these major additions to the game:

The Pipefitter

A team of industrious sisters in the village that let you carry more tower items outside. Once you help build an elaborate chute system, you will have a slot in each segment of the tower that you can use for one item. That item will be transported to the next segment in the current run. Once the item is outside, it can be bought in the village at the pipefitter.

The Bard

You’ll meet a Bard in the village who needs new instruments to impress the townsfolk… who currently hate their music. Fascinated with the musical wonders that you carried outside, the Bard will enter the tower once you’ve fulfilled their quest (to disastrous results). You will then be able to loot their corpse in the tower, which will be located in a random place every run. The corpse contains a new instrument and other useful items.

Snowy & Puffles

This trap is inspired by one from the original Lucky Tower web game. At the end of a room, you’ll discover three doors with names above them. When you choose one of them and enter a small chamber, the door closes behind you and you’ll face whatever is in it. It might be a harmless snail, a peasant companion, or a tough enemy. You can deduce the room’s contents by the name above the door, which will be combined from a pool of possibilities.

The Pipes

The tower's sewer system becomes all the more visible with this trap. Unfortunately, the tower has such horrible plumbing that, from time to time, these pipes shake and…
1. Unleash a poisonous cloud into the air
2. There's also a chance they are clogged by slime, which will drop from the pipes instead
3. Or they do nothing (lucky you)

Bear Trap + Rake

What's more slapstick than a rake handle to the face or a bear trap? These will be placed randomly in rooms just like mouse traps, but both have their own little twist.

You'll also get over 270 new voice lines, new unique rooms, new items to find, new architecture to see all over the tower, you can buy a beard from The Barber, new achievements and so on. It really is a big update to the game, and I've had a blast again attempting to run through to spot some of the new stuff. Really great game to relax with.

One not to sit on, a seriously easy recommendation to pick up.
